Overjoyed when in love
Heartbroken
But have you ever thought about this?
Why does breaking up cause this much pain in my palm?
(Just reading the words is enough to make you feel how painful it is!)
A survey shows that
Among adults, 85% have broken up at least once.
Among college students, a staggering 90% have experienced a breakup.
Today is Qixi Festival.
Single uncles can't show off their love.
I can only talk to you about heartbreak.
When you're heartbroken, where does the pain in your heart come from?
Anyone who has experienced heartbreak should understand.
When your partner tells you they want to break up
My heart felt like it had been struck by lightning.
The pain was unbearable
It was a kind of indescribable sadness.
Although sadness can cause some physical reactions
But it usually doesn't reach the level of "illness".
Of course, it doesn't mean the heart will actually break.
The patient's heart usually does not have obvious organic lesions.
An expert survey found
Suffering extreme emotional stress after a breakup
Two-thirds of the people experienced symptoms of broken heart syndrome.
One-fifth of them are in critical condition.
He needs to be taken to the emergency room for treatment.
How can a perfectly healthy heart be so "fragile"?
The heart is like a perpetual motion machine
Continuously pumping blood
Allow blood to circulate throughout the body
on the contrary
It affects changes in blood hormone levels.
Extremely! Very! Sensitive!
When you are heartbroken
The sympathetic nervous system secretes large amounts of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
These hormones
It can cause strong myocardial contraction
apical spherical change
(Because the altered shape resembles an octopus pot, it is also known as octopus pot heart disease.)
This directly leads to a weakening of the heart's beating ability.
Causes symptoms similar to a heart attack.
Mild cases may present with sudden chest pain, chest tightness, palpitations, and difficulty breathing.
In severe cases, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, and syncope may occur.
But it's not just about heartbreak.
This is when broken heart syndrome occurs.
These conditions can all lead to broken heart syndrome.
As long as it is emotional trauma
Both are possible
for example
July 12, 2019
The Dreiglers passed away one after another.
There was only a 12-hour difference in between.
They had been in love for 71 years prior.
The elderly man who later passed away suffered from broken heart syndrome.
He followed his wife to the afterlife.
However, don't assume that only negative emotions can trigger this.
Sometimes even positive events can make your heart "explode".
for example
The study also found
The occurrence of broken heart syndrome is linked to a person's personality.
Psychologists consider human personality
Divided into type A and type B
What should be done if broken heart syndrome occurs?
Although patients with "broken heart syndrome"
The disease is severe in its early stages.
But their hearts will not suffer lasting damage.
As long as appropriate and effective treatment methods are adopted
The condition usually resolves completely within weeks or months.
However, this does not mean that you
Can one ignore heartbreak?
Untreated major emotional trauma
Mild cases may present with premature ventricular contractions and elevated blood pressure.
In severe cases, it can lead to ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, excessive premature beats, or even sudden death.
at last
Uncle wants to emphasize that
Compared to emergency measures
Prevention is equally important
When negative emotions occur
If it is extremely painful
Better cry
*American scientist Dr. William Foley discovered:
When crying out loud
The body will secrete more hormones and neurotransmitters.
It helps remove chemicals secreted in the body due to negative emotions.
If your friend has just broken up
I cried to you and told you how much my heart ached.
We will definitely give them extra care.
Because they are emotionally and physically vulnerable.
Loss is always painful.
But life is never smooth sailing.
